Buckinghamshire / Rose GODFREY, born 20th April 1880 at Aylesbury.
« on: Saturday 30 November 19 12:07 GMT (UK) »
Can anyone come up with a bright idea on this one, please ?
Rose Godfrey was born in Aylesbury on 20th April 1880 at Aylesbury. She was the daughter of George Godfrey and Elizabeth Margaret Godfrey, née Simms. She was baptised at St Mary's on 8th February 1857. The Godfrey family were slow to baptise their offspring !
She appears at home in 1881 and 1901 and in 1891 she is in Luton with her mother visiting Mr and Mrs Pope at 18 Cardigan Street.
In the 1911 census she is no longer at home. She married in the fourth quarter of 1910 in the Aylesbury registration district.
On the same page there are only two other names. These are William Chapman and Annie E Eeles. Of course, I may well be wrong, but I think these two married each other and I can find them in the 1911 census.
So who did Rose marry and why cannot I find her in 1911 ?
Having married late in 1910 she and her husband would not have completed any full years of marriage so the entry in that column should be 'under one'.
As she is a fairly distant relative I do not wish to pay for a marriage certificate unless I absolutely have to.
Any ideas will be gratefully received. I have spent many hours searching to no avail. Those of you who have helped me in the past will now know how difficult some of my Simms ancestors and their descendants can be !
